Just a note to some of our members - Gibraltar has its own government, it is not a resort on the Costa del Sol, and does not adopt Spanish law, currency, festivals or customs!
I think that there is some historical reason for this. :roll:

But do bear in mind that most (many) places are closed Saturday - the Jewish Sabbath, so I believe. Well, I don't believe - but what's more important, is that they do. :?

Most of the Electrical/Camera shops seem to be run by Pakistanis now!

Yeah, you can buy any amount of Pentaxes and Toshibas!
'bout time Spain had some entrepreneurial folk like that. Few more 7-11s other than the criminally expensive OpenCor.
